Bloodborne is “Very Dear” to FromSoftware; Studio President Discusses Remake Demand

In an insightful discussion with Eurogamer, FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki opened up about the longstanding affection both the developers and the fanbase have for Bloodborne, a gem in the PlayStation 4 era that, unlike other titles, hasn't yet seen a remaster, remake, or even a push to next-gen consoles. Explicitly addressing the potential and value a remake could bring, Miyazaki touched upon how advancements in technology could revitalize the game, allowing for expressions and details unachievable on earlier hardware platforms. This, coupled with the fact that upgrading to newer systems increases accessibility, enabling a broader audience to experience the game, stands as a significant incentive for considering a revamp.

Despite the circulating rumors hinting at a possible Bloodborne remake for the PS5 and PC, Miyazaki couldn't provide a concrete update but expressed joy over the community's persisting enthusiasm. The affection and cherished memories the FromSoftware team has for Bloodborne mirror those of its dedicated fanbase, making the prospect of revisiting the title all the more enticing.

Amidst discussions on Bloodborne's legacy, an internal leak following a cyber attack on Insomniac revealed that by the fiscal year 2020, the game had sold close to 7.5 million units—a testament to its enduring popularity. Meanwhile, Elden Ring's upcoming expansion, "Shadow of the Erdtree," is set to launch, promising yet another expansive adventure for fans to dive into on multiple platforms, including the latest generation consoles and PCs.
